Electric vehicle charging station fees take effect October 30 at Lakewood and Lawson Civic Centres
October 16, 2025 - 6:30am
The Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) pilot program is complete, and a fee-for-use model will begin on October 30, 2025. Fees can be paid using the ChargePoint app, RFID card, and directly with credit cards or through digital wallet.
User fees are in effect 24 hours a day, including weekends, evenings, statutory and other holidays. The maximum charging duration is three hours. Onsite signage is in place to provide more information to users.
At its August 27 meeting, City Council resolved electric vehicle charging stations at Lakewood and Lawson Civic Centres would begin charging user fees as soon as possible. This decision supports long-term service and fairness for users and community.
Installed in May 2023, these stations had been offered at no cost to the user as part of a two-year pilot project, allowing the City to study the usage patterns, electricity consumption on site, impact on peak demand in the buildings, repair and maintenance requirements, role of internal stakeholders including facilities management, parking enforcement, leisure centres, customer service, and other details to better understand the implications of adding such infrastructure to other public-facing civic sites. The stations experienced steady use and positive feedback during the pilot project.
